If you're planning on venturing outside in the next couple of days, make sure to dress warmly.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Prince George and its surrounding areas, predicting temperatures to drop 10 to 20 degrees below seasonal averages.
Cold Arctic air is pushing southwards across the Interior, and toward B.C.'s coast through the remainder of the weekend.
The cold air is likely to be in place until Monday (Feb. 8) and is expected to last for the rest of the week, making for the coldest conditions seen this season.
Temperatures in Prince George are expected to drop to -28 C this evening (Feb. 6) with the windchill and -23 C overnight and risk of frostbite.
The forecast calls for mostly sunshine next week but temperatures could reach as low as -30 with the windchill on Monday night.
